Boys, just wondering if there any uprated lower arm ball joints available out there. ive got a redtop corsa with spax coilovers, camber adjusting bolts, strut brace and recently had tracking and camber set up. owned the car around 18 months as redtop and have fitted around 3 ball joints per side These are the o.e ones from vauxhall not cheap car spares ones. Any help would be appreciated. cheers.

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.
